Distributed Load Balancing of District Heating Systems - A Small-Scale Experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results from an experiment where the effects of automatic flow control at a single substation is compared to automatic cooperative concurrent flow control at multiple substations. The latter approach is made possible by equipping individual substations with some computing power and integrating them into a communications network. Software agents, whose purpose is to cooperate with other software agents (substations) and to invoke reductions, are connected to each substation. The experiment show that it is possible to automatically load balance a small district heating network using agent technology, e.g., to perform automatic peak clipping and load shifting.

متن کاملMethod of Evaluation of Efficiency Improvement Potential for District Heating Systems with Focus on Variable Speed Centrifugal Pumps
The goal of this research is the derivation of method for evaluation of efficiency improvement potential for district heating systems with focus on variable speed centrifugal pump. The effectiveness of the usage of the proportional pressure control is compared with the constant pressure control. This is why, energy calculation analyses have been realized for variable speed centrifugal pumps, an...
متن کاملOptimization Load Balancing Scheduling Algorithm in Distributed Multi-Agent Systems
Load balancing is very important in the distributed multi-agent system that it can improve the performance of the distributed multi-agent system effectively. In the existing methods scheduling optimization wasn’t done for load balancing. In large-scale distributed multi-agent systems consisting of one million of agents using partial information about each agent’s communication search time of th...
متن کاملMulti-Agent Systems for District Heating Management.book
i This thesis investigates the applicability of multi-agent systems as a control approach for district heating systems. The consumers, i.e., the heat exchange systems, in current district heating systems are purely reactive devices and have typically no communication capabilities. They are only able to make local decisions without taking into account the global situation in the system. In this ...
متن کاملA Two-Tier Distributed Full-Text Indexing System
The performance of indexing systems is very important for a search engine. Usually, indexing systems on large-scale clusters can provide high search efficiency, but it brings expensive hardware costs. The costs would be greatly reduced if a distributed indexing system runs on small-scale clusters connected by the Internet. Two current inverted file partitioning schemes: document partitioning an...
